After a delightful dinner at the restaurant, Summer and Ryan decided to unwind further by buying some beer. However, they knew that Ryan couldn't drink since he was driving, so they only got a few cans for Summer to enjoy.

Back in the car, the atmosphere was light and filled with laughter. They began talking about random things, their conversation flowing effortlessly as if they had known each other forever.

As the car glided along the streets, Summer kept sipping on her beer, feeling the warmth of the alcohol spreading through her veins. It made her feel a little sleepy, but she didn't mind. The world seemed hazy and dreamlike, and she found herself sinking into a drowsy state.

When they finally reached home, Summer was half-asleep, not even realizing when the car came to a stop. She stirred and looked around in confusion. "Have we reached?" she asked, her words slurred.

Ryan chuckled softly, "Yes, sleepyhead, we're home."

He helped her out of the car, holding her hand gently as they made their way inside. She leaned on him for support, a sleepy smile on her face. Once inside, he guided her to her bedroom, the laughter continuing as they playfully stumbled their way there.

"I swear we should start a comedy show," Summer mused, still giggling.

"Definitely, we'd be a hit," Ryan replied, amusement dancing in his eyes.

As she settled into bed, Summer couldn't help but feel a little bold, fueled by the alcohol and the carefree moments they shared. As Ryan was about to leave, she playfully called out to him, her voice soft and seductive.

"Wait," she said, pulling him closer. She leaned in, as if she was going to kiss him, but instead, her lips grazed his ear as she whispered, "Goodnight, Ryan. I hope you have a good sleep, or better, I hope I show up in your dream."

A spark ignited between them, a sudden intensity that left them both breathless. Summer smiled, her eyes glinting with mischief, before finally letting go and settling back on her bed.

The room felt charged with an electric energy as Ryan stood there, feeling the heat of her words seeping into his soul. He wanted nothing more than to stay, to kiss her and lose himself in the moment, but he knew he had to be strong.

With a smile that masked the storm of emotions within, he bid her goodnight and left the room. As he closed the door, he leaned against it, taking a deep breath to steady himself.

In that moment, both Summer and Ryan were left to grapple with the intoxicating connection between them. The night held secrets of its own, and they couldn't deny the magnetic pull drawing them closer. But for now, they chose to let the whispers of the night linger, savoring the promise of what might come next.
